Donggang Banyan Tree Park Introduction
At the estuary of Donggang Village in Zhuangwei Township, there is a banyan tree park where you can relax and unwind. You can take a break on the hammocks hanging between the ancient trees or stroll along the shaded avenue filled with intertwining branches, enjoying the peaceful moments. Donggang Banyan Tree Park is located at the southern exit of the coastal bike path and is one of the resting spots along the cycling route. It gets its name from the lush branches that create a natural spectacle of dense shade, making it a stopping point for cyclists and visitors to cool off and enjoy the scenery during the summer. The most unique aspect of the park is the "fishing net hammock," woven by local fishermen and community residents. Trying out the hammock to relax is a must-do to truly appreciate your visit. The public temple under the trees is also a place where locals gather to rest and chat. Exiting the banyan tree park, you can see the old simple dock, where fishing boats still anchor today. Although it doesn’t have the bustling fishing scene of the past, it still retains a strong fishing village atmosphere and simple charm. The coastal recreation area, banyan tree park, and the nearby bird-watching area at the Lanyang River estuary are all recommended attractions in Yongzheng, which you can explore along the coastal highway. Cycling leisurely allows you to admire the traditional Huhou community where the park is located, still preserving the appearance of old houses from early rural Taiwan, full of nostalgia.
